Description

Recovery from disordered eating and body image issues is often solely focused on behaviour change. Rarely are clinicians informed about the “nuances” of recovery, such as the important stage of body forgiveness and how this presents along the recovery path. Body forgiveness helps our clients develop a relationship with their body through increasing embodiment, decreasing objectification and body shame, and increasing internal forgiveness, self-compassion and self-care and positive body image.
